The Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty and ACJ320-family jets are large-cabin airliner derivatives suited to head-of-state or corporate shuttle roles. ACJ TwoTwenty typically offers about 5,650 nm range with roughly 18–48 passengers in VIP layouts. ACJ320neo/ACJ321neo variants generally span about 6,000–6,750 nm with about 19–50+ passengers depending on cabin density. The widebody ACJ350 is in the ultra-long-range/VVIP category, commonly cited around 10,000+ nm with very high space for roughly 25–80+ in executive configurations. Boeing’s BBJ MAX 7/8/9 are narrowbody BBJs for long-range corporate transport, typically around 6,000–6,600 nm with about 19–50 passengers in VIP layouts. The BBJ 747-8 is a very-large VVIP widebody with immense volume and typically about 50–100+ passengers, with range around 7,700–8,000 nm. The BBJ 777-8 and 777-9 sit in the ultra-large, ultra-long-range class, generally about 9,000+ nm for the 777-8 and ~7,200+ nm for the 777-9, with typical VIP loads roughly 40–100+. Among purpose-built business jets, the Bombardier Global 5500 is ultra-long-range (about 5,900 nm) for roughly 8–16. Dassault Falcon 7X/8X are ultra-long-range tri-jets (~5,950/6,450 nm) for about 8–16. The Falcon 900LX is long-range (~4,750 nm) for about 8–14. The Embraer Legacy 450 is midsize (~2,900 nm) for about 7–9.
